What's included

Condition recap

The original Canon F-1, introduced in March 1971 and produced until 1981, was Canon's first professional SLR and launched the FD lens mount. It is a fully mechanical camera with a horizontal-travel focal-plane shutter and titanium foil curtains, offering speeds from 1 s to 1/2000 s plus Bulb. The battery powers only the built-in CdS TTL light meter, with center-weighted reading and ISO 25–2000 range, so the shutter works without it. Exposure is fully manual.

The body features a removable eye-level pentaprism finder, interchangeable focusing screens, mirror lock-up and a built-in self-timer. As the flagship of the Canon F-1 system, it accepts FD lenses, with FL and R lenses usable in stop-down mode. Compatible accessories include the Motor Drive, Power Winder F and other finders. This is the original 1971 model, not the F-1n (1976) or New F-1 (1981). A solid choice for film photographers and Canon FD collectors.
